Herbal Modulation of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Thyroid Axis in Hypothyroidism: A Comprehensive Review Open
Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disorder resulting from insufficient production of thyroid hormones, triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). While levothyroxine therapy remains the standard treatment, it may cause side effects and f…

Anatomic and Embryologic Analysis of the Dural Branches of the Ophthalmic Artery Open
The ophthalmic artery has one of the most fascinating embryologic developments among the craniofacial arteries. Most of the ophthalmic artery orbital branches develop from the formation and regression of the stapedial artery and share thei…

Patterns of care for ruptured aneurysms of the middle cerebral artery: analysis of a Swiss national database (Swiss SOS) Open
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine patterns of care and outcomes in ruptured intracranial aneurysms (IAs) of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) in a contemporary national cohort. METHODS The authors conducted a retrospect…

Angiographic Analysis of Natural Anastomoses between the Posterior and Anterior Cerebral Arteries in Moyamoya Disease and Syndrome Open
We found 3 different types of anastomoses between the anterior and posterior circulations, with different abilities to compensate the anterior circulation. Their development depends on the perfusion needs of the territories of the anterior…

Posterolateral route for a midbrain cavernous malformation reaching the anterior surface of the brainstem Open
Cavernous malformations in the midbrain can be accessed via several safe entry zones. The accepted rule of thumb is to enter at the point where the lesion is visible at the surface of the brainstem to pass through as little normal brain ti…

O-014 Double stent-assisted coiling of intracranial aneurysms with the neuroform ATLAS stent in Y and X configurations: immediate and midterm angiographic and clinical follow-up Open
Object Self-expandable stents have broadened the spectrum of endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms. However procedures involving double stenting in Y or X configuration carry a relatively high risk of procedural complications. T…

O-020 Visual prognosis after endovascular treatment of occipital arteriovenous malformations Open
Introduction Occipital arteriovenous malformations (AVM) carry a high risk of post-operative morbidity because of their anatomic relation to the visual cortex and optic radiations. We report our single-center experience with occipital AVMs…

Home-Time as a Surrogate Marker for Functional Outcome After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Open
Background and Purpose— Commonly used tools to determine functional outcome after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) have limitations. Time spent at the patient’s home has previously been proposed as a robust outcome measure after i…
